Critical reception[edit]

Initial critical response to Monkey Business was mixed to negative. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 48, based on 20 reviews.^[5]The most favourable review was Robert Christgau's, who gave the album a 3-star honorable mention, saying: 'What all pop might be—so much brighter and kinder than it is'.^[6]

Singles[edit]

• 'Don't Phunk with My Heart' was the lead single from the Black Eyed Peas' second album since band member Fergie joined the group. The single became the group's first top 5 single, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and their second top 10.
• 'Don't Lie' was the album's second single, however it failed to duplicate the success of 'Don't Phunk with My Heart', partly due to the rising success of the then-unreleased-single 'My Humps'. 'Don't Lie' did manage to crack the top 20 in the United States, peaking at No. 14 on the Hot 100.
• 'My Humps' was the third single from the album and was released in the summer of 2005. The song was released after it became an unsolicited hit on mainstream radio across the United States. The track, even with lack of promotion, surpassed the highly promoted track 'Don't Lie'. 'My Humps' became one of the biggest songs of 2005, despite an incredible amount of criticism, with some labeling the song 'tasteless'.
• 'Pump It' was released as the fourth and final single from the album, and was the final song from the album to chart on the Hot 100
